Guess who BET Awards has added to it’s performance line-up? D’Angelo. Thursday morning, Stephen G. Hill confirmed the news on twitter sharing:
Yes!! D’Angelo will perform on the #BETAwards July 1!! It will be his first televised performance in over 12 years! Boom!

Although D’Angelo has recently returned back on the musical scene touring, as Hill mentioned, this will be his first televised performance in over 10 years. Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials explained:
“Usually, we love to keep surprises…but this year we want EVERYONE watching when D’Angelo takes the stage at the BET Awards! His talents have been away from us for far too long and we’re excited and honored that he’s decided to make his American re-entry at this year’s BET Awards.”

I’m excited to see D’Angelo’s return to music. The airwaves have been over saturated with mediocre R&B & Hip Hop “artists” and unfortunately great artists like Musiq, Maxwell, Eric Roberson, Jill Scott, Conya Doss etc are being overlooked. Hopefully, his return will give the Neo Soul movement the spark it needs to place great music back into the forefront. I wish Mr. D’Angelo nothing but the best with his music and his recovery.
